Having your Summary Care Record available will help anyone treating you without your full medical record.They will have access to information about any medication you may be taking and any drugs that you have a recorded allergy or sensitivity to.

The Chipping Surgery is already live with SCR. However, if you do not want your medical records to be available in this way then you will need to let us know so that we can update your record.You can do this via the ‘opt out form’ or on our website

·GP2GP record transfers

There is a contractual requirement to utilise the GP2GP facility for the transfer of patient records between practices, when a patient registers or de-registers.

It is very important that you are registered with a doctor at all times.If you leave your GP and register with a new GP, your medical records will be removed from your previous doctor and forwarded on to your new GP via NHS England.It can take several weeks for your paper records to reach your new surgery.With GP to GP record transfers, your electronic record is transferred to your new practice much sooner.

We confirm that GP2GP transfers are already active and we send and receive patient records via this system.

·Patient access to their GP record

Practices are required by 31st March 2016 to promote and offer the facility for patients to view online, export or print detailed information from their medical record, i.e. information held in coded form.

This facility is now available to ALL patients - contact the practice if you would like this function enabled for you.
